This books is different from Brust's other novels. In this book he "retells" a Hungarian folk tale while also exploring the life of a young artist. Apparently this was part of a series of retold fairy tales. The s tructure of the book was interesting. Very regimented, each chapter had five sub-parts which each had a slightly different style. One was about the past, one the present, one about painting, one about art and one part of the fairy tale. The structure allowed Brust to tell multiple stories and explore the artists ideas of creating art. While I prefer the Draegerean novels, this was a well executed pleasant read.

I just re-read this and I think I actually enjoyed it more this time around. I think it is nice how much this book ties in with the others in the series, not every author can claim such consistency (Stephen King take note).
I have an immediate distaste for most Christian fiction, but this one was one of the best I've read. Realistic and not watered down, good plot and well-written.

These books aren't too bad. Very Christian (it is based on a bible study group) and the characters are likeable and believable.
The novel was written in poetry format. I found this difficult to read. Also the author would begin talking about one character, then I realized she had switched to another character. I found the book difficult to follow and not enjoyable reading.

I liked this book, but it was not AMAZING like everyone else says. It may be because i have seen the movie several times prior to reading the book...and the book is so different from the movie. It may also be the age, and how i couldn't really relate with these 12 year olds. i will read the rest of the series, and I'm told the second one is awesome. we shall see!

Once again, Broadview has produced a well-annotated edition of an important but difficult to find text that should appeal to scholars and students, as well as those with a taste for social satire and ambiguous morality. This second novel by Cleland is not as graphic as his first, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749): rather than landing its author in prison on obscenity charges, this novel received some commercial and critical success. The similar titles of Cleland’s first two books invite comparison, and may mislead readers into assuming it’s a rewriting of Fanny’s story from an aristocratic male perspective. Approaching the text from this point of view will lead to disappointment: it does not hold copious references to penises and there are no orgies or same-sex relations. What Coxcomb does offer is a study in eighteenth-century English masculinity as it is invented, challenged and repeatedly undone throughout the adventures of nineteen-year old Sir William Delamore. It is a comedy of manners that takes the conventions of romances and amatory fiction only to make them the vessel carrying a larger social critique. Editor Gladfelder does an excellent job of illustrating through his introduction, annotations and appendices that the reader is meant to see the hollowness the narrator’s attempts at asserting masculine dominance. As he points out, Delamore’s terror of being dominated by women is projected onto other emasculated men: "There is, in fact, a near total absence of strong figures of male authority, in either the public or private spheres" (31). In my opinion, this lack of real male authority gives an aura of sexual failure to the anti-climatic ending. Lydia has been found, her story revealed, Merville (Delamore’s sketchly drawn “mentor”) quickly steps aside as our hero’s romantic rival (he often does this, making one wonder if, despite Delamore’s insistance on Merville’s success with women, their relationship should be read as more homoerotic than homosocial). Supposedly, like Tom Jones (watch out for a Mrs. Rivers in a role I found reminiscent of Mrs. Waters), Delamore’s sexual adventures have prepared him to return to his destined, chaste first love. But we leave the text with him awaiting a response from his beloved or her family. What should have ended in a climatic satisfaction of the hero’s desires ends abruptly as he waits for female position. The last sentence mentions that his aunt and guardian, Lady Bellinger, whom he spent his young life tyrannizing, is quite happy that he has given up his plans to go abroad, which she opposed earlier in the novel. Fanny’s adventures as a prostitute provided an excellent education for her to become a wife, but it is unclear for what role Delamore’s life as a coxcomb has prepared him. It is even doubtful that he truly is a coxcomb or merely a fop. Despite the power Delamore sees and fears in his “conquests,” the plight of women due to their lack of political, social and economic power is shown through the theme of prostitution: the seduced housemaid, Diana, is later found in a brothel (the humor of her chaste name and early similarities to Richardson’s Pamela do not entirely undermine her demise), Agnes is an unwitting commodity as she is the bait to help fulfill her guardian’s sexual desires, and even the pure Lydia, Delamore’s supposedly “true” love, is revealed at the end to have been in hiding because her father wanted to sell her in marriage to an inappropriately old Lord in exchange for social advancement. Items also of interest: the Appendices contain selections from Cleland’s 1753 translation of J.F. Dreux du Radier’s Dictionnaire d’Amour (1741), offering the best definition of a fop I have come across and an intriguing view of submission.

Failed to get through the book in French, but the English translation still communicated the beauty and rawness of this novel. A book to savor.

This is a book that has always been great for teaching colors and numbers along with the life of a butterfly. My toddler nephew loves this book and we read it several times a week. His favorite is the page with all the different foods. At 15 months, he can name almost every different food in the book. *If you take a piece of yarn or gummy worm, you can weave it through the pages as you follow the story and it makes it more exciting for the little ones while it works on coordination skills.

Hilarious! A rampage of crazy larger-than-life cartoonish characters. I really enjoy a play that has a vision and barrels at it with guns blazing. Hollinger's play doesn't shy away from the ridiculous and will get everyone involved in insane commie-chasing antics.
